2 Claims. (oi. 2-169) The present invention relates to hand covers or gloves and more specifically to dress gloves, its primary object being to provide, as a new article of manufacture, a dress glove of novel structure, pattern and appearance'characterized by the combination of a back element made'of woven fabric and a palm element made oftanned skin or hide. the digit portion connecting tapes or fourchettes being also mad'eof tanned skin or hide, both faces of the glove beingthus' of handsomely differentiated aspects.

A further object of the invention is to provide a dress glove of the aforesaid description having a very smart and close fit, devoid of bagginess and possessing great wearing life, these results being due to a novel shape or outline given to the several parts of which the gloveis made up, great resistance to tear being imparted to the glove at the points of connection of said parts due to a novel way of uniting those parts that are exposed to heavy tractional or stretching stresses inoi dental to wearing by overcasting or whip-stitch ing their adjoined edges, while the edges of the other parts that are not exposed to the same heavy stresses are united together by ordinary lines of stitches i. e., by lap-stitching, forthe sake of smartness.

7 With these and such other objects in View as will incidentally appear hereafter, the invention consists in the construction, combination and details of means that will be more fully described with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawing wherein is shown an illustrative embodiment of the same, it being understood that modifications, variations and adaptations may be resorted to within the scope and spirit of the invention as it is more directly claimed hereinafter.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a plan view of the main blank or 40 back element of the glove, which includes a flaring forearm portion, a hand back portion and four digit portions, this main blank being in one piece and made of any suitable woven fabric.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the thumb upper cover, also made of a woven fabric advantageously matching that of the main blank, this view showing the peripheral or marginal hem-like flange of this thumb cover.

' Figure 3 is aplan View of the palm blank or 50 element of the glove, which includes a hand palm portion and four digit portions, this palm blank being in one piece and made of anysuitable tanned skin or hide.

. Figure 4 is a plan view of the thumb lowercover, also made of tanned skin or hide advantaeously matching that of the palm blank, this view showing a slanting or incurved out separating the lower cover for the thumb proper from the lower cover for the ball of the thumb.

Figures 5 to 11 inclusive are plan views showing strips adapted to constitute the forearm base edge tapes and the digit connecting tapes or fourchettes, all of these tapes being intended according to the invention to be made of tanned skin, advantageously matching that of the palm blank.

Figure 12 is a diagrammatic edge view illustrating the mode of attachment by lap-stitching of the root edge of the palm blank to the corresponding edge of main blank.

Figure13 is a diagrammatic edge view similar to Figure 12 butillustrating, by way of example, the mode of attachment by overcasting or whipstitching their adjoined edges of the upper and lower covers or blanks of the thumb element over a portion of theirperipheries.

Like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the several views.

4 The several blanks of which the improved glove according to the invention is made up are cut from suitable dies or patterns of known form of any appropriate size.

' The main blank shown in Figure 1 is made of any convenient woven fabric such for example as linen, cloth, canvas, buckram, velvet, twill, etc. depending on the use ascribed to the glove, it being understood however that the invention is chiefly concerned with dress gloves. The choice of the texture and color or shade of the woven fabric of which the main blank is made depends largely on fashion requirements.

The main blank made of woven fabric repre sented laid on the fiat in Figure 1 comprises a body 1 having side edges converging towards the digit or finger portions to provide, when the glove is fully assembled, a flaring forearm portion which gives the glove a musketeer gauntlet shape.

The body 1 of the main blank is limited by a rectilinear base edge 1 and comprises a side flap 2 having a pointed tongue 3 beyond which is formed a V-shaped depression 4. Beyond this depression are in turn formed four digit or finger portions 5, 6, 7, 8 of suitable respective lengths.

The upper or back portion 9 for the thumb has the shape shown in Figure 2 when laid on the flat i. e. before assembly. The peripheral edge of this thumb upper cover 9 is flanged or hemmed at 9 to permit easier assembly with the corresponding part of-the body 1 of the main blank naturally. thec'olors of the two principal blanks adapted to constitute the hand back portion and the palm portion of the glove structure oncait is assembled may be differentiated or otherwise harmonized to suit fashion or stylerequir'ements.

The palm blank comprises a body lq having a pointed projection 11 extending in "the direction opposite to that of its digit;portionsdesignated by 14, l5, l6 and 17. Aligned or substantially,
